n May 18, 2021, Clackamas County residents gave the Sheriff’s Office a
major vote of confidence by approving Measure 3-566 — a five-year
operations levy that continues funding existing levy-funded services and
funds new critical positions and programs.
On Jan. 1, 2022, the new levy
replaced CCSO’s previous five-year
levy, which voters had approved in
November 2006 and renewed in
2011 and 2016.
Thanks to your support, the
passage of Measure 3-566 allows
for the expansion of Sheriff’s Office
services to keep up with
Clackamas County’s rapidly growing
population. The levy puts more
deputies on the road, opens
26 mental-health/medical jail beds,
and funds a body-worn camera
program.
Thank you for your support and
partnership in helping us keep
Clackamas County safe.
‘Even though it went before voters in the
wake of an incredibly challenging time
... this support is a direct reflection of
your continued hard work, dedication,
and excellent service to our community.
The community has given our Office a
tremendous vote of confidence.’

The Clackamas County
Inter-agency Task Force
(CCITF) — continuing the work of
this team to disrupt and dismantle
Drug Trafficking Organizations (DTOs)
operating in Clackamas County and to
reduce illegal drugs and drug-related
crimes throughout the community
In November 2021, the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office began field-testing
body-worn cameras (BWCs) for its Patrol deputies.
Voters approved the body-worn camera program in May 2021 when they passed
Measure 3-566.
After the levy’s passage, the Sheriff’s Office selected Axon as its body-worn
camera vendor. CCSO has also updated our Taser armory to Axon’s new
seventh-generation devices and will transition to Axon’s vehicle cameras — putting
CCSO’s body-worn, Taser, and vehicle cameras on the same software platform.
The May 2021 levy also funded a full-time Sheriff’s Office IT professional
to manage the body-worn camera program.
A full rollout of the CCSO’s BWC program began in early 2022,
with the goal of full implementation by the end of 2022.
